Haha! I really just didn't want to waste half a box of VGs! I will just keep them with my other "extras". I will stick with just the horizontal stabilizer & wing.

I guess I have over-complicated things here. With the boom tube angled up during level flight it appeared to me that the horizontal stabilizer was also at an angle.
Thanks!

Hi all! I am hoping someone can help me with my placement of VGs on my vertical stabilizer. The directions on my Airwave vortex generators state "5 degrees from level flight". Would someone ...

I bought the firefly last year and have not flown it myself yet. I do have a video on CD of take-offs and landings with the 377 from the former owner. I would gladly send you a copy of the video.

I have a 377 on my Firefly. The provision 4 takes an "A" gearbox while the provision 8 takes a "B" gearbox(plus others). The Ski-doo snowmobiles have neither provision and you must ...

I will probably use my Comtronics helmet as well.

I do believe the connector was called a U174 for the old helmet.

Thanks!

Thanks. No not me, Itunes search "Firefly" found it.

Here is my "new to me" Firefly. I love it!

Would anyone know which adapter I wou ...

I am very grateful to the previous owner for giving me a DVD of my Firefly in flight & landings with the ASI and stick in the video frame. All of his landings were at a fairly steep approach angle ...

Thanks Luke! I took a liking to it as well.
When it is nice out I am getting taxi time in the Firefly, airtime in the Cub.
When it is raining outside I am reading Stick & Rudder by Wolfgang Lang ...

Thanks Jason!
Went up in the Cub yesterday and I am looking forward to actually "seeing" out of the front of my Firefly! It was a beautiful flight looking out of the sides and I did get som ...

Thanks Dennis!
I had ordered 12' but was able to call in and change it to 14'. They verified that any excess could be zip tied out of the way.

Tiny Tach can customize the length for me when I place my order. Would anyone know the length I would need for my Firefly? Not at the hangar to do the measuring myself. Thanks!

Guess I should have said rudder "pedals" are new to me.

Appreciate the tips guys.
I am 43 and years ago had a 2 axis quick. Then did PPG. Most recently been flying trikes. Rudders are new to me!
I just got in from taxi practice and my feet are not conn ...

My firefly survived the journey to it's new home. Still looking for someone in the PA/OH area that might be able to help me out with some Kolb training. Prefer not to train in a 172. Any ideas?
Thank ...

Hello! I am picking up a firefly this weekend and was hoping somebody could help me find an instructor with a Mark III. I live in n.w. PA. Any help would be appreciated!
